That fewer and fewer communities receive water through pipes on a permanent basis. Is one of the priorities of the Territorial Delegation of Hydraulic Resources in Holguin. To improve the quality of service and contribute to savings.
Juan Mario Echavarría Hernández, provincial delegate. Told CNA that in 2025 there is a budget of 70 million pesos dedicated to these works in vulnerable neighborhoods. Rural areas, difficult to access and municipalities affected by the intense drought.
He stressed that the strategy for the reduction includes the connection of new customers to the aqueduct service. Which will exceed six thousand in 2025 according to work projections.
In addition, as part of these efforts, feasibility studies are being carried out aimed at enabling their own sources. Installing hand pumps, community cisterns and other alternatives, said the director.
To achieve this end, spare parts of the conductors are also recovered. Which allows greater accessibility of the vital liquid through the system of hydraulic networks, said Echavarría Hernández.
Holguin closed the year 2024 with more than 75 percent of its population receiving the supply of public water and sanitation companies. And the installation of more than 700 hydrometers in the residential sector.
At the same time, during the period, the use of tanker trucks for supply was reduced in the towns of Corea. La Cuchilla and Río Mano, in the municipality of Gibara. And the settlement of Las Casillas, and Puerto Rico and Arroyo streets, in Banes.
